Hot Battery 850

Hi All,

I have an 94 850 with 170K thats fairly new to me (1 week)
I noticed a burning smell and its coming from
the Battery. I also noticed a slight seepage of acid
coming from the top of the battery. The cables seem fine
...... but the battery is very hot to touch.

I did have the battery out yesterday when dealing with a
headlight washer moter that woulndt turn off.
I removed the wiper moter.
Cables are hooked up correctly.
Any thoughts.

Thanks

Mike
